Software update: MediaPortal 1.14.0

A new stable release from MediaPortal’s 1.x series has been released. With this program, a Windows machine can be used as the heart of the multimedia hardware in the living room. This makes it easy to listen to radio and music, as well as watch videos and DVDs. TV programs can also be recorded. By means of plug-ins and extensions, the functionality can be expanded and the look & feel of the program can be adjusted. Here are the main changes in this release:

Where the focus was on
The focus for this release was on bug fixing. We notably kept consolidating our remote control HID handler. We fixed potential slow startup issues with offline share. We added a couple of features like the display of Radio EPG in the NowPlaying screen (when available) and the GUI auto-update in Videos, Music and Pictures sections when files and folders are created, renamed or changed. For a full list, see below.
